I think this is not a question male vs. female, but it just depends on the community you are contributing to. For debian-science, debian-blends, and debian-astro (and debian-mentors, ofcourse!) I never had problems, and always got quick and helpful answers. These communities are (comparably) small, and there are enthusiastic members. Debian-women probably just falls into the same category. I have also a number of questions and bug reports (partly even with patches) rotting around, where I am unsure why they are not answered or incorporated. However, since Debian is made by volunteers, there is no way to force people to do anything, so it is as it is. However, I do not see why this is connected to gender issues.
